1. Yet, the "distemper of Putin" is a very cruel thing. And, it seems, the leader of the Foreign Minister Lavrov is somewhere in penultimate stage.

It is difficult to say whether he still recognizes his wife and can even relieve themselves on his own, but that all that is happening in Ukraine, is aimed against Russia - he is exactly sure. In privacy, today announced that Independence that took place in Ukraine is a "geopolitical project against Russia."

I understand we are all free from the lies while Mr. Lavrov holds onto them, fingering the cabinets and looking under the sofa for UPA and agents of the CIA.

I do not think that he can still be helped. We can only prevent diplomats from other countries to be more oberezhnymyz [careful?] of Lavrov at various international parties. Hell knows how this contagion spreads!

2. The Battalion in "Aydar" today reported: during the last 24 hours killed 23 soldiers of the battalion. Yesterday afternoon killed 4 of our border as a result of bombardments of the territory of Russia. Soldiers of both the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard died.

These guys performed their duty to the end. Liberated land Donbass has to ever remember this blood of patriots that it has watered. Eternal memory to the heroes.

3. Russia continues to increase the number of its troops near the state border with Ukraine.

In addition to the previously concentrated near the border parts of the Act are also units from other regions of Russia. It was previously recorded movement from Novosibirsk Oblast of the 32-th separate brigade motostrilletskoyi and 24-th separate brigade of special purpose GRU Armed Forces.

Last weekend we recorded the transfer of the state border with Ukraine divisions of Russian units 200th separate motorized rifle Infantry Brigade. It was surprising, given that a permanent place of deployment of the brigade is the Murmansk region of Russia. But today, this data was confirmed.

Armed with the 200th omsbr-tanks, MLRS BM-21 "Grad" and BM-27 "Storm", self-propelled artillery units 2SZ "Acacia". That is all that in recent weeks the army that Putin has brought down to the Ukraine.

With good- POSITIVE:

1. ATO Forces took Debaltseve and up-land Saur-Tomb, including in Shakhtarsk, Torez and Lutuhine. Released Pershomaysk and Snow [from terrorist Separatists] on the queue - Horlovks/Gorlovka.

In fact, now two strategic objectives in the ATO are solved. The first one is definitively "split" "LNR" and "DND." The second is fully unlocked and reinforced our troops in the sector along the border, to a rotation of personnel. Not as fast as we would like, but still these tasks are performed.

2. Disaster Russian version Malaysian "Boeing 777", born in the slums of advocacy offices called "the General Staff of the Armed Forces," crumbling before our eyes.

Experts mm international commission to study the causes of the crash said: data from the aircraft flight data recorders indicate that the causes of the crash was an impressed rocket. Today, as chief designer Su-25 V.Babak (namely, that "Boeing" was shot down by Ukrainian Su-25 as it is known insists Russia) stated that the airliner could not be impressed by these storm troopers - and laid out levels of explanation why this is technically unlikely.

Thus the circle is closed. It is clear that the plane struck with SAM, and there is ample evidence of who exactly this MISSILE THREAT belonged.

We have no doubt whose fault it is - but the international community requires reinforced concrete evidence. And this evidence do not hesitate.

3. Talks held with five: U.S. and France presidents, and Germany, Britain and Italy heads of government. The result was an agreement on new sanctions against Russia, now, finally, the sector. Already voiced and informal evaluation of the effect of these sanctions is up to 100 billion euros in two years.

At the same time, Russia has lost in the Hague court process that was initiated by Yukos shareholders, and will reimburse them $50 billion loss.

In the Russian literature, in such cases, use the exclamation "Oy!". In the Hollywood blockbuster - "upss" ...
